Mark joined NESTA in 2009 to work on the Lab’s idiscover project: a practical demonstration of ways of changing the learning that Young People experience. Mark is interested in ways of narrowing the gap between the evidence base and actual practice in the public sector, the effective scaling-up of proven innovation, and behaviour change.
Before NESTA Mark worked in the private sector with a focus on technology driven innovation and the delivery of that innovation at scale.
He is a graduate of University College, London, where he received a First class degree in Philosophy. In his spare time he enjoys gardening, trying to read properly, and hiking. He is a volunteer literacy and numeracy tutor at his local youth centre.
